I find myself looking for golf deals during this time of year. Not really buying Christmas gifts for anyone. I'm just trying to take advantage of Christmas specials. Do any of you find yourself spending more on golf equipment/accessories this time of year?

As I get more into golf I find older gear attracting my attention. I find myself looking at Play it Again SPorts, the local pawn shops, and thrift stores for older gear that can be had for little money.

no more than the rest of the year

Enis750 = Sandtrap's voted most likely to change irons 4 times in a year.

The Callaway Preowned site has "Deal for Days" this time of year. Every 2 days is a different sale. "Like New" is brand new on that site for anyone not familiar. Got all my clubs there this time last year. If the X proto irons go on sale, it will be hard for me to resist. There are about 4-5 more days of sales. 30% off this, 25% of that, etc.. it is a great way to get deals on Callaway clubs.

One of the current deals is 25% off FT Tour Drivers...

9.5° Graphite Stiff Matrix Xcon 6 Graphite Like New $254.99

I just scored a set of Bridgestone J36 combo's w/ PX shafts for $350 brand new at my local golf store.

Ya Callaway pre-owned is so legit, I bought my 4 and 5 FT hybrids here "like new" for $100 a piece back when they were like 180 new.. I wish I liked odyssey putters b/c they have some good deals on those.

This is the time of year I buy experimental additions to the bag so I have time to do some indoor practicing and adjustments. Just picked up a SC KOMBI, first mallet putter I've ever bought so I'm perfecting that, indoors, thanks winter...

I bought a used macgregor blade 2 iron at my local goodwill for 50 cents! Not going in my bag, but it's just something to practice with.

Better make that 5 or 6 times.

    • Day 38 (18 Dec 25) - got out in the backyard with grandson this afternoon.  We got into a little game of pitching the ball from about 25yds to a target point just off the asphalt lane behind the backyard.  Goal - just clear it with a quick hop and stop.  Focused on using the wedge swing motion I was talking with the course pro yesterday….smooth and thru just bruising the grass.  In addition to a concentrated focus on technique, it also called for a quiet mind locked in on target point.  Rehearsed this with both the 50° and 55° wedges.  
    • I listened to the Shaun Webb one about the swing coach app. Sounds like a great thing and will (hopefully) be very useful for me. I do think the hosts are underestimating where AI could be in a few years. Right now it's just regurgitating stuff that it has been told or it has scrubbed from somewhere else and a human guiding things will be quite a lot more helpful than just the AI, but it's going to keep developing and it will reach the stage where it's figuring this stuff out on its own. Time will come when it will have you do a TPI style screen and take various height/arm length/leg length etc. measurements, have you tell it some history and your time constraints and goals and what not and it will watch a video of your swing face on and DTL and it will know exactly what you need to work on. 
    • I found it entertaining, but the announcing was lousy.  How did the measuring on the final shot start with Rory being closer and being told he won, and then with no explanation it turns out Scottie won?  Weird.
    • Day 128 12-18 Worked on rotation and getting to lead side. Still working on the flow feeling while doing that. Recorded swings. 
    • IMO-the only thing entertaining was the relay race. Everything else was excruciatingly boring...or just  stupid, like the 14-club thing. Watching guys blade wedges into the water over and over is not at all interesting.
